The India Champions have officially declined to participate in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) semifinal clash against Pakistan Champions, originally scheduled for Thursday, citing the nation`s stand against any bilateral sporting ties with the neighbouring country after the gruesome Pahalagam terror attack.

The Indian team which includes legends like Shikhar Dhawan, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina among others have already expressed their unwillingness to play against Pakistan following the terror attack and the subsequent `Operation Sindoor` launched by India.

India took a similar stand like they did in the group-stage match against Pakistan earlier in the tournament.
